1. Defining social media A common definition of social media is the online technological or practical access for users to share feelings, knowledge, experiences and perspectives. This concept was supported by Rheingold (1993) who also defined social media as a relationship Cyberspace. In a business perspective, the popularity of social media can facilitate marketing promotion through several ways such as advertising and publicity (Hanna, Rohm, & Crittenden, 2011). Furthermore, it can also impact on consumer behavior since people could get other’s experience about post-purchase feedback such as satisfaction level or product availability (Mangold & Faulds, 2009). Social media, along with its timely and low-cost characteristics (Kaplan & Haenlein, 2010), has been an effective way for integrating different like-minded people, and a connecting way for different industries (Laroche et al 2012, p.1761). Therefore, social media tend to be a higher efficient way for industries or organizations to take advantages of its online access in order to develop better online environment and expand business scope (Kaplan & Haenlein, 2010). In comparison to other media and television, social media does not need to create ‘drama’ to involve audience attention and provoke participation. Communicators using these media do not need to run after the rating-focused news editors or media leaders who chase for money. In social media, the target audiences do not only gets involved in conversations around different brands and products, they also empowered by social media to collect the output of Public Relations activities and reproduce message for their own and influence outcomes (Quinn-Allan 2010, p.43). 2.
